Qurʾān Bukhārī Muslim Nasāʾī Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Ibn Mājah Mālik Aḥmad Dārimī Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī
bayhaqi:19275 – Abū Aḥmad al-Mihrajānī > Abū Bakr b. Jaʿfar al-Muzakkī > Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm > Ibn Bukayr > Mālik > Zayd b. Aslam > a man from Banī Ḍamrah from his father

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was asked about 'Aqeeqah (sacrificial offering for a newborn). He responded, "I do not like disobedience. It seems as though he dislikes the name. And whoever has a child and wishes to perform 'Aqeeqah for them, then they should do so." The Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "This is when it is combined with the first [i.e., hating the name], and he [the Prophet ﷺ] associated those two things with his love."  

البيهقي:١٩٢٧٥ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا مَالِكٌ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي ضَمْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْعَقِيقَةِ فَقَالَ لَا أُحِبُّ الْعُقُوقَ وَكَأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا كَرِهَ الِاسْمَ وَقَالَ مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْسُكَ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ فَلْيَفْعَلْ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَهَذَا إِذَا انْضَمَّ إِلَى الْأَوَّلِ قَوِيَا وَقَدْ عَلَّقَ فِيهِمَا ذَلِكَ بِمَحَبَّتِهِ

malik:26-1 – Yaḥyá > Mālik > Zayd b. Aslam > a man Min Banī Ḍamrah from his father

Yahya related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam from a man of the Banu Damra that his father said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the Aqiqa. He said, 'I do not like disobedience (uquq),' as if he disliked the name. He said, 'If anyone has a child born to him, and wants to sacrifice for his child, then let him do it.' "
